Co: Your Visa is Approved! (Co Gave me a white sheet. Go to the circled address to pick up your visa in 2weeks time. K1 visa usually takes two weeks to process. She further explains...
Me: Thank you very much. (With a big smile).
The Co never requested to see no prove or evidence from me. Of which I went there with a trailer of evidience. lol.
Note: Make sure u know basic informations about you and your fiance very well. It gives confidence
* whatever you don't know. Just say "I dont know". Better than answering a question wrongly. Cos they have every information on their computer.
*Arrive at the consulate 1hour before your appointment time. It helps you to relax and calm your nerves.
*Pray
*Be relaxed and confident during the interview process.
*Dress in a way you fell comfortable with. Look smart and cool.
I shared my interview experience and I hope this will be helpful to someone else. I apologize for the long writeups. I also want to use this medium to thank Everyone on Visajourney
